Three Kings re-opens
Three Kings of Egypt, the hookah bar at 1027 Light St. in Federal Hill, has reopened under new ownership.
Denise Anderson and her son Kenneth recently purchased the place and have set a grand opening for 5 p.m. this Friday.
The Andersons run the New Eastern Taxi Cab company in Essex, but this will be their first hookah bar. They have added some American fare, such as hamburgers, to the menu and lowered the prices, Denise Anderson said.
Hookahs are $9, and refills are $5. It is no longer BYOB, and alcohol will not be served on the premises. The new hours are 5 p.m.-2 a.m. Mondays-Thursdays, 4 p.m.-4 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 4 p.m.-midnight Sundays.
"It's a new experience for me," Anderson said. "But I've spent so much time in Three Kings for the past year, I think we're going to be really successful at it."
I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.
